I'm planning on running Wrath of the Righteous sometime soon, and I was looking at the Holy Rager to see if I could bring it up to a player that has his heart set on playing an Orc Barbarian. However, I could help but notice a few oddities.
Unless I'm missing something, Aura of Good doesn't seem like a fair trade for Fast Movement. Same for Detect Evil for a Rage Power. To me those always seemed more like flavour options than an actual major ability. This especially applies to Aura of Good, which has almost no effect on anything related to the actual gameplay. Although, perhaps these changes were done to balance the fact that the Holy Rager actually has a decent Will save?
There's also the matter of Divine Grace. Put simply, it's useless. As written Divine Grace is Charisma dependent. However, Charisma is the Barbarian's primary dump stat. This ability makes the Holy Rager far too MAD to be viable unless you want to be locked out of one of your abilities. May I suggest instead Aura of Courage?
